Would you do the right thing?

NATICK, Mass. -- One Massachusetts woman was a lot more generous to Halloween trick-or-treaters than she intended to be.

Seven-year-old Hunter Campbell's candy haul included a 14-carat diamond engagement ring.

The ring slipped off a newlywed's finger as she doled out the treats in Natick, a town west of Boston. She'd just had the ring re-sized and it was a little bigger than normal.

The woman, Paulie Andreosatos-Gavin, spent a panicked evening looking for the ring before calling police.

Luckily for her, the boy's parents turned in the ring as soon as they spotted it in the candy.

The bride told the MetroWest Daily News she will send the trick-or-treater a reward.

There has to be something wrong with that story.

A 14 carat diamond?

Do you have any idea how big that is?

Maybe it was a 14-carat gold ring with a diamond.

I do believe the right thing would be making the kid choke on it, then sueing the woman for putting the ring in his treat bag.

that's just 2.8 grams of stone...

edited to add : according to this table with "general sizes", a 6 carat stone is already huge...

I had to vote, "Tough one".
I would've of held onto for a little while and looked for the owner and failing to find owner checked with the police about any reports. Even if you turn it over to the police if its not claimed within a certain time you get it, but with a high dollar item such as this you'd better keep a close eye on it or it'll be state property.
And you'd be damn sure they'd report it the Uncle Sugar (IRS) and you'd pay a whopper tax on it probably.

Wanna confess anything funks??
I know you took your daughter trick-or-treating last year. Share the wealth!!

I think when Jesus said "love your enemy" he probably meant don't kill them.

Absolutely turn it in; I appreciate the sentimentality too much.

That, and karma is a bitch.

That it is... My wife and I spent our honeymoon on Maui, and we happened onto one of those black sand beaches. My wife went nuts and said we had to take a bottle of that stuff back home, so we did. Two months later she nearly kills herself, and a host of other bad things happened over the next 6 to 9 months. I told my brother who lives in Hawaii about the black sand and he promptly told me he heard that the legend is that it's cursed if you take it with you... Fuck me!

Not really being superstitious, but I figured what the hell, it can't get any worse, so I packaged it up and sent it back to the town nearest the beach we got it from. Life has been a lot better since, but of course it could just be a coincidence...
